Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of complete and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.
With a complete spinal cord injury, the patient will develop complete motor and sensory loss below the level of the injury. No sacral sparing. No motor or sensory below the level of the lesion after the disappearance of the spinal shock and the return of the bulbocavernosus reflex. The physician will be unable to differentiate between a complete and incomplete injury during spinal shock. The spinal shock usually lasts 24-72 hours (hypotension & bradycardia).
With complete injury, one cervical root could recover in 80%. Two nerve roots may recover in some patients.
Incomplete injury: check for sacral sparing. Preservation of any sensory or motor function indicates an incomplete lesion. The most important prognostic factor for recovery is the severity of the neurological deficit.
Central cord syndrome
Caused by a hyperextension injuy. It has a favorable prognosis but poor recovery of the hand function. The lesion occurs in the central part of the spinal cord and the grey matter. The injury can be caused by minimal trauma in the elderly, usually caused by osteophytes. The spinal cord will become compressed between the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc or a bony spur. The injury causes an upper motor neuron lesion in the lower extremity and a lower motor neuron lesion in the upper extremity. Motor weakness is more severe in the upper extremities compared to the lower extremities.
Anterior cord syndrome
There will be complete motor paralysis and impairment of the sensory function. The damage occurs in the anterior part of the spinal cord due to vascular insufficiency or mechanical compressions such as form a bony spur or a fracture. Anterior cord syndrome has the worst prognosis. With anterior cord syndrome, the corticospinal tract is affected and there is a very low chance of motor recovery (only 15% will show functional recovery). Anterior cord syndrome is usually a result of a flexion/compression injury and damage to the spinal cord is usually in the anterior 2/3 of the cord. The lower extremities are affected more than the upper extremities. The posterior column is spared with position, proprioception and sense of vibration not being affected.
The anterior syndrome is different from central cord syndrome- central cord syndrome is caused by a hyperextension injury.
Brown sequard syndrome
Brwon sequard syndrome has the best prognosis with 90% recovery. It is caused by hemisection of the spinal cord usually due to penetrating trauma. There will be ipsilateral deficit of the motor function, proprioception, vibration and deep touch. There will be contralateral loss of pain and temperature and the spinothalamic tract crosses at the spinal cord.
Posterior cord syndrome
This syndrome is very rare and is associated with loss of proprioception, deep touch and vibration. The motor, pain, temperature, and light touch are preserved.

Central cord syndrome is the most common incomplete spinal cord injury. Central cord syndrome usually occurs due to a hyperextension injury.
It is usually due to anterior osteophytes and it usually occurs in the elderly after minor trauma. It may also occur in young adults.
The spinal cord lesion occurs in the grey matter zone.
Upper extremity deficit is more severe than in the lower extremities. Central cord syndrome has a favorable prognosis. Full function recovery is rare. The hand function is the last to recover and the patient may have permanent deficit in the hands.

Patient presents with upper extremity weakness and loss of sensation. This syndrome most often occurs after a hyperextension injury in an individual with long-standing cervical spondylosis. It is characterized by disproportionately greater motor impairment in upper compared to lower extremities, and variable degree of sensory loss below the level of injury in combination with bladder dysfunction and urinary retention.[4] This syndrome differs from that of a complete lesion, which is characterized by total loss of all sensation and movement below the level of the injury. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_cord_syndrome

I have a T5 incomplete spinal cord injury, anterior cord syndrome, which means I have almost full sensory, minus temperature and pain, but little movement below my chest. This is probably the weirdest technique for warming up that we discovered - slapping stimulating balance disc on my legs. I can't explain why it works, but it does. If I stand on these little rubber spikes with socks on, I have much better "signal strength" as I call it. I can initiate muscles that otherwise just ignore me. Over the past few weeks we've been using this method and it's extremely effective before any sort of leg press, walking, or even just standing and trying to balance.

Anterior spinal artery syndrome

Anterior spinal artery syndrome (also known as "anterior spinal cord syndrome") is a medical condition where the anterior spinal artery, the primary blood supply to the anterior portion of the spinal cord, is interrupted, causing ischemia or infarction of the spinal cord in the anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord and medulla oblongata. It is characterized by loss of motor function below the level of injury, loss of sensations carried by the anterior columns of the spinal cord (pain and temperature), and preservation of sensations carried by the posterior columns (fine touch and proprioception). Anterior spinal artery syndrome is the most common form of spinal cord infarction.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. It is around 45cm (18in) in men and around 43cm (17in) long in women. Also, the spinal cord has a varying width, ranging from 13mm (1⁄2in) thick in the cervical and lumbar regions to 6.4mm (1⁄4in) thick in the thoracic area. The enclosing bony vertebral column protects the relatively shorter spinal cord. The spinal cord functions primarily in the transmission of neural signals between the brain and the rest of the body but also contains neural circuits that can independently control numerous reflexes and central pattern generators.
The spinal cord has three major functions:
as a conduit for motor information, which travels down the spinal cord, as a conduit for sensory information in the reverse direction, and finally as a center for coordinating certain reflexes.

Central cord syndrome

Central cord syndrome (CCS) is the most common form of cervicalspinal cord injury. It is characterized by loss of motion and sensation in arms and hands. It usually results from trauma which causes damage to the neck, leading to major injury to the central grey matter of the spinal cord. The syndrome is more common in people over the age of 50 because osteoarthritis in the neck region causes weakening of the vertebrae. CCS most frequently occurs among older persons with cervical spondylosis, however, it also may occur in younger individuals.

CCS is the most common incomplete spinal cord injury syndrome. It accounts for approximately 9% of traumatic SCIs. After an incomplete injury, the brain still has the capacity to send and receive some signals below the site of injury. Sending and receiving of signals to and from parts of the body is reduced, not entirely blocked. CCS gives a greater motor loss in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs, with variable sensory loss.

Spinal cord injury

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that causes changes in its function, either temporary or permanent. These changes translate into loss of muscle function, sensation, or autonomic function in parts of the body served by the spinal cord below the level of the lesion. Injuries can occur at any level of the spinal cord and can be classified as complete injury, a total loss of sensation and muscle function, or incomplete, meaning some nervous signals are able to travel past the injured area of the cord. Depending on the location and severity of damage along the spinal cord, the symptoms can vary widely, from pain or numbness to paralysis to incontinence. The prognosis also ranges widely, from full recovery in rare cases to permanent tetraplegia (also called quadriplegia) in injuries at the level of the neck, and paraplegia in lower injuries. Complications that can occur in the short and long term after injury include muscle atrophy, pressure sores, infections, and respiratory problems.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of complete and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.
With a complete spinal cord injury, the patient will develop complete motor and sensory loss below the level of the injury. No sacral sparing. No motor or sensory below the level of the lesion after the disappearance of the spinal shock and the return of the bulbocavernosus reflex. The physician will be unable to differentiate between a complete and incomplete injury during spinal shock. The spinal shock usually lasts 24-72 hours (hypotension & bradycardia).
With complete injury, one cervical root could recover in 80%. Two nerve roots may recover in some patients.
Incomplete injury: check for sacral sparing. Preservation of any sensory or motor function indicates an incomplete lesion. The most important prognostic factor for recovery is the severity of the neurological deficit.
Central cord syndrome
Caused by a hyperextension injuy. It has a favorable prognosis but poor recovery of the hand function. The lesion occurs in the central part of the spinal cord and the grey matter. The injury can be caused by minimal trauma in the elderly, usually caused by osteophytes. The spinal cord will become compressed between the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc or a bony spur. The injury causes an upper motor neuron lesion in the lower extremity and a lower motor neuron lesion in the upper extremity. Motor weakness is more severe in the upper extremities compared to the lower extremities.
Anterior cord syndrome
There will be complete motor paralysis and impairment of the sensory function. The damage occurs in the anterior part of the spinal cord due to vascular insufficiency or mechanical compressions such as form a bony spur or a fracture. Anterior cord syndrome has the worst prognosis. With anterior cord syndrome, the corticospinal tract is affected and there is a very low chance of motor recovery (only 15% will show functional recovery). Anterior cord syndrome is usually a result of a flexion/compression injury and damage to the spinal cord is usually in the anterior 2/3 of the cord. The lower extremities are affected more than the upper extremities. The posterior column is spared with position, proprioception and sense of vibration not being affected.
The anterior syndrome is different from central cord syndrome- central cord syndrome is caused by a hyperextension injury.
Brown sequard syndrome
Brwon sequard syndrome has the best prognosis with 90% recovery. It is caused by hemisection of the spinal cord usually due to penetrating trauma. There will be ipsilateral deficit of the motor function, proprioception, vibration and deep touch. There will be contralateral loss of pain and temperature and the spinothalamic tract crosses at the spinal cord.
Posterior cord syndrome
This syndrome is very rare and is associated with loss of proprioception, deep touch and vibration. The motor, pain, temperature, and light touch are preserved.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of complete and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.
With a complete spinal cord injury, the patient will develop complete motor and sensory loss below the level of the injury. No sacral sparing. No motor or sensory below the level of the lesion after the disappearance of the spinal shock and the return of the bulbocavernosus reflex. The physician will be unable to differentiate between a complete and incomplete injury during spinal shock. The spinal shock usually lasts 24-72 hours (hypotension & bradycardia).
With complete injury, one cervical root could recover in 80%. Two nerve roots may recover in some patients.
Incomplete injury: check for sacral sparing. Preservation of any sensory or motor function indicates an incomplete lesion. The most important prognostic factor for recovery is the severity of the neurological deficit.
Central cord syndrome
Caused by a hyperextension injuy. It has a favorable prognosis but poor recovery of the hand function. The lesion occurs in the central part of the spinal cord and the grey matter. The injury can be caused by minimal trauma in the elderly, usually caused by osteophytes. The spinal cord will become compressed between the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc or a bony spur. The injury causes an upper motor neuron lesion in the lower extremity and a lower motor neuron lesion in the upper extremity. Motor weakness is more severe in the upper extremities compared to the lower extremities.
Anterior cord syndrome
There will be complete motor paralysis and impairment of the sensory function. The damage occurs in the anterior part of the spinal cord due to vascular insufficiency or mechanical compressions such as form a bony spur or a fracture. Anterior cord syndrome has the worst prognosis. With anterior cord syndrome, the corticospinal tract is affected and there is a very low chance of motor recovery (only 15% will show functional recovery). Anterior cord syndrome is usually a result of a flexion/compression injury and damage to the spinal cord is usually in the anterior 2/3 of the cord. The lower extremities are affected more than the upper extremities. The posterior column is spared with position, proprioception and sense of vibration not being affected.
The anterior syndrome is different from central cord syndrome- central cord syndrome is caused by a hyperextension injury.
Brown sequard syndrome
Brwon sequard syndrome has the best prognosis with 90% recovery. It is caused by hemisection of the spinal cord usually due to penetrating trauma. There will be ipsilateral deficit of the motor function, proprioception, vibration and deep touch. There will be contralateral loss of pain and temperature and the spinothalamic tract crosses at the spinal cord.
Posterior cord syndrome
This syndrome is very rare and is associated with loss of proprioception, deep touch and vibration. The motor, pain, temperature, and light touch are preserved.

Educational video describing the condition of central cord syndrome.
Central cord syndrome is the most common incomplete spinal cord injury. Central cord syndrome usually occurs due to a hyperextension injury.
It is usually due to anterior osteophytes and it usually occurs in the elderly after minor trauma. It may also occur in young adults.
The spinal cord lesion occurs in the grey matter zone.
Upper extremity deficit is more severe than in the lower extremities. Central cord syndrome has a favorable prognosis. Full function recovery is rare. The hand function is the last to recover and the patient may have permanent deficit in the hands.

Patient presents with upper extremity weakness and loss of sensation. This syndrome most often occurs after a hyperextension injury in an individual with long-standing cervical spondylosis. It is characterized by disproportionately greater motor impairment in upper compared to lower extremities, and variable degree of sensory loss below the level of injury in combination with bladder dysfunction and urinary retention.[4] This syndrome differs from that of a complete lesion, which is characterized by total loss of all sensation and movement below the level of the injury. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_cord_syndrome

I have a T5 incomplete spinal cord injury, anterior cord syndrome, which means I have almost full sensory, minus temperature and pain, but little movement below my chest. This is probably the weirdest technique for warming up that we discovered - slapping stimulating balance disc on my legs. I can't explain why it works, but it does. If I stand on these little rubber spikes with socks on, I have much better "signal strength" as I call it. I can initiate muscles that otherwise just ignore me. Over the past few weeks we've been using this method and it's extremely effective before any sort of leg press, walking, or even just standing and trying to balance.

In the next few videos, we'll be discussing the neuro anatomy of the spinal cord, as well as peripheral nerves. This video will be on the anatomy of the spine and pathology associated with the spine.
The spinal cord is a tube of fibers: ascending tracts that carry sensory information to the brain, and descending tracts that carry motor response back. Let's first discuss the ascending tracts:
These include the dorsal columns and the lateral spinothalamic tracts. The lateral spinothalamic tract relays pain and temperatuve, while the dorsal column does everything else.
Descending tracts consists of the lateral and anterior corticalspinal tracts.
Unfortunately, now it get's more complicated. These tracts do not just go straight up and straight down. Instead, they decussate (or cross over). We will discuss this.
Also, the tracts are not just one long neuron, but are multiple inter-neurons connected to each other. We will discuss this and the importance of understanding what is a upper motor neuron or a lower motor neuron and symptoms that show up if those are damaged.
Once you understand this, pathology becomes a lot easier. Some pathology that we will discuss today include:
Occlusion of the anterior spinal artery
Tabes Dorsalis from syphillis
Friedrich ataxiaB12 Deficiency
Syringomyelia
ALS
Polio
Werdnig-Hoffman diseaseBrown SequardSyndrome

HelloEveryone, here is a neurological dysfunction lecture on the topics of Level of Consciousness (LOC) and The UnconsciousPatient made easy to understand to help aide in your study sessions. I have gathered all of the important information from my Med- Surg Book (Brunners and Suddarth 12th edition) that will prepare you for your nursing test whether it is for school or NCLEX.
Part 2 of this lecture will be located under the same Med-Surg section as it continues with Increase Intracranial Pressure (IICP) and further explains causes of decrease LOC and the unconscious patient.
Here are some Extra information that may help and guide you as to the different parts of the neurological system and their function as it relates to the signs and symptoms that you will assess as a nurse with a patient who has decrease LOC, the unconscious patient, and IICP.
Frontal Lobe—the largest lobe, located in the front of the brain. The major functions of this lobe are concentration, abstract thought, information storage or memory, and motor function. It contains Broca’s area, which is located in the left hemisphere and is critical for motor control of speech. The frontal lobe is also
responsible in large part for a person’s affect, judgment, personality, and inhibitions (Hickey, 2009).
Parietal Lobe —a predominantly sensory lobe posterior to the frontal lobe. This lobe analyzes sensory information and relays the interpretation of this information to other cortical areas and is essential to a person’s awareness of body position in space, size and shape discrimination, and right–left orientation (Hickey, 2009).
Temporal Lobe—located inferior to the frontal and parietal lobes, this lobe contains the auditory receptive areas and plays a role in memory of sound and understanding of language and music.
Occipital Lobe—located posterior to the parietal lobe, this lobe is responsible for visual interpretation and memory.
The thalamus lies on either side of the third ventricle and acts primarily as a relay station for all sensation except smell. All memory, sensation, and pain impulses pass through this section of the brain.
The hypothalamus is located anterior and inferior to the thalamus, and beneath and lateral to the third ventricle. The infundibulum of the hypothalamus connects it to the posterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus plays an important role in the endocrine system because it regulates the pituitary secretion of hormones that influence metabolism, reproduction, stress response, and urine production. It works with the pituitary to maintain ﬂuid balance through hormonal release and maintains temperature regulation by promoting vasoconstriction or vasodilatation. In addition, the hypothalamus is the site of the hunger center and is involved in appetite control. It contains centers that regulate the sleep–wake cycle, blood pressure, aggressive and sexual behavior, and emotional responses (ex: blushing, rage, depression, panic, and fear). The hypothalamus also controls and regulates the autonomic nervous system.
The brain stem consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. The midbrain connects the pons and the cerebellum with the cerebral hemispheres; it contains sensory and motor pathways and serves as the center for auditory and visual reﬂexes. Cranial nervesIII and IV originate in the midbrain. The pons is situated in front of the cerebellum between the midbrain and the medulla and is a bridge between the two halves of the cerebellum, and between the medulla and the midbrain. Cranial nerves V through VIII originate in the pons. The pons also contains motor and sensory pathways. Portions of the pons help regulate respiration. Motor ﬁbers from the brain to the spinal cord and sensory ﬁbers from the spinal cord to the brain are located in the medulla. Most of these ﬁbers cross, or decussate, at this level. Cranial nerves IX through XII originate in the medulla. Reﬂex centers for respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, coughing, vomiting, swallowing, and sneezing are located in the medulla as well. The reticular formation, responsible for arousal and the sleep–wake cycle, begins in the medulla and connects with numerous higher structures.
The cerebellum is posterior to the midbrain and pons, and below the occipital lobe. The cerebellum integrates sensory information to provide smooth coordinated movement. It controls ﬁne movement, balance, and position (postural) sense or proprioception (awareness of where each part of the body is).

Anterior Spinal Artery Syndrome - CRASH! Medical Review Series

(Disclaimer: The medical information contained herein is intended for physician medical licensing exam review purposes only, and are not intended for diagnosis of any illness. If you think you may be suffering from any medical condition, you should consult your physician or seek immediate medical attention.)

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of complete and incomplete Spinal Cord Injury.
With a complete spinal cord injury, the patient will develop complete motor and sensory loss below the level of the injury. No sacral sparing. No motor or sensory below the level of the lesion after the disappearance of the spinal shock and the return of the bulbocavernosus reflex. The physician will be unable to differentiate between a complete and incomplete injury during spinal shock. The spinal shock usually lasts 24-72 hours (hypotension & bradycardia).
With complete injury, one cervical root could recover in 80%. Two nerve roots may recover in some patients.
Incomplete injury: check for sacral sparing. Preservation of any sensory or motor function indicates an incomplete lesion. The most important prognostic factor for recovery is the severity of the neurological deficit.
Central cord syndrome
Caused by a hyperextension injuy. It has a favorable prognosis but poor recovery of the hand function. The lesion occurs in the central part of the spinal cord and the grey matter. The injury can be caused by minimal trauma in the elderly, usually caused by osteophytes. The spinal cord will become compressed between the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc or a bony spur. The injury causes an upper motor neuron lesion in the lower extremity and a lower motor neuron lesion in the upper extremity. Motor weakness is more severe in the upper extremities compared to the lower extremities.
Anterior cord syndrome
There will be complete motor paralysis and impairment of the sensory function. The damage occurs in the anterior part of the spinal cord due to vascular insufficiency or mechanical compressions such as form a bony spur or a fracture. Anterior cord syndrome has the worst prognosis. With anterior cord syndrome, the corticospinal tract is affected and there is a very low chance of motor recovery (only 15% will show functional recovery). Anterior cord syndrome is usually a result of a flexion/compression injury and damage to the spinal cord is usually in the anterior 2/3 of the cord. The lower extremities are affected more than the upper extremities. The posterior column is spared with position, proprioception and sense of vibration not being affected.
The anterior syndrome is different from central cord syndrome- central cord syndrome is caused by a hyperextension injury.
Brown sequard syndrome
Brwon sequard syndrome has the best prognosis with 90% recovery. It is caused by hemisection of the spinal cord usually due to penetrating trauma. There will be ipsilateral deficit of the motor function, proprioception, vibration and deep touch. There will be contralateral loss of pain and temperature and the spinothalamic tract crosses at the spinal cord.
Posterior cord syndrome
This syndrome is very rare and is associated with loss of proprioception, deep touch and vibration. The motor, pain, temperature, and light touch are preserved.

Central Cord Syndrome

This video discusses the cause, anatomy, and symptoms of central cord syndrome.

Educational video describing the condition of central cord syndrome.
Central cord syndrome is the most common incomplete spinal cord injury. Central cord syndrome usually occurs due to a hyperextension injury.
It is usually due to anterior osteophytes and it usually occurs in the elderly after minor trauma. It may also occur in young adults.
The spinal cord lesion occurs in the grey matter zone.
Upper extremity deficit is more severe than in the lower extremities. Central cord syndrome has a favorable prognosis. Full function recovery is rare. The hand function is the last to recover and the patient may have permanent deficit in the hands.

Central cord syndrome- Real patient case

Please watch: "LEARNHEART SOUNDS IN 20 MINUTES!!!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrdZhCXtc7Q
-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
Patient presents with upper extremity weakness and loss of sensation. This syndrome most often occurs after a hyperextension injury in an individual with long-standing cervical spondylosis. It is characterized by disproportionately greater motor impairment in upper compared to lower extremities, and variable degree of sensory loss below the level of injury in combination with bladder dysfunction and urinary retention.[4] This syndrome differs from that of a complete lesion, which is characterized by total loss of all sensation and movement below the level of the injury. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_cord_syndrome

T5 anterior cord paraplegic stimulation

I have a T5 incomplete spinal cord injury, anterior cord syndrome, which means I have almost full sensory, minus temperature and pain, but little movement below my chest. This is probably the weirdest technique for warming up that we discovered - slapping stimulating balance disc on my legs. I can't explain why it works, but it does. If I stand on these little rubber spikes with socks on, I have much better "signal strength" as I call it. I can initiate muscles that otherwise just ignore me. Over the past few weeks we've been using this method and it's extremely effective before any sort of leg press, walking, or even just standing and trying to balance.

Anterior spinal artery syndrome

Anterior spinal artery syndrome (also known as "anterior spinal cord syndrome") is a medical condition where the anterior spinal artery, the primary blood supply to the anterior portion of the spinal cord, is interrupted, causing ischemia or infarction of the spinal cord in the anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord and medulla oblongata. It is characterized by loss of motor function below the level of injury, loss of sensations carried by the anterior columns of the spinal cord (pain and temperature), and preservation of sensations carried by the posterior columns (fine touch and proprioception). Anterior spinal artery syndrome is the most common form of spinal cord infarction.
